Oil-based Paint - Rub paint thinner into stain until the paint is softened. Wash, using a heavy-duty detergent.

Red Wine - Quickly sprinkle salt on the stain. Then put the item in cold water and try to rub out the stain before washing the fabric.

Urine, Vomit, Mucus, Feces - Soak and rub in cold water. Do not use hot water as it will set the stain. Wash in warm water.

If you cannot identify the stain in a washable fabric, soak the item in cold water and rub it together at the stained area. If the stain remains, rub liquid detergent into it, then rise thoroughly. If the stain persists, use a bleach solution safe for the fabric, then wash normally. When no spot remover is available, try using automatic dish-washing detergent. Apply a paste of it with an old toothbrush, then rinse thoroughly. To remind yourself that a garment is stained and needs pre-treating, tie a loose knot in its sleeve or leg before tossing it into the hamper.
